Good morning,

In response to the above may I suggest it is time to connect the on-line
community with the general public.

Picture a weekly rag newspaper with content from the NET COMMUNITY to be
sold at the local convenience store or grocery store.
Articles could range from interesting news groups postings, such as humor,
free stuff, & etc. You get the idea.

What's the reason for the rag to the general public? We are going to
teach them something they are afraid to learn [technology and how to use it]
and they won't even know they had been taught. Subsequently, the market for
on-line business will explode.

I suggest developing an on-line business association whose purpose is to
educate the general public via the weekly rag and other avenues.
Membership fees and advertising revenues generated from the rag would
finance this education program. I may even be able to get grant monies from
you corporate guys and gov't.

Please e-mail me if you are interested. Address: michael@yrkpa.kias.com
